Thinking Out Loud.....

It must be the time, just downloaded my renewal on Friday...I get Zone alarm every year.......good job Shiela....made Lasagna for dinner.....watching the Amazing Race, the water is beautiful!!!

Deb I was wondering where you were, glad you are ok!!!

Meece...That's exciting i never saw AG growing in real life........

Ray...HUGS...♥

I love Lasagna...i love everything.....

Linda....tomorrow is monday=Quiet day..........

Hi (((TOL)))
Been off the boards due to work, then traveled to CT to spend week end with DD and 2 wonderful grandkids....had a great visit.
Don't want to go back to work....
Am having some kind of reaction to meds....jittery, pain in joints, generally off my center.  Brain not working.  Surprised I can type.  I think it's the doubling of the dose of statins.  I have to have a 6 week follow up to see if cholesterol is down....it wasn't dangerous or anything....just preventative.  But this general pain is stupid.
...I'll get the blood work then tell doc I'm going off the stuff.
Hope everyone's doing OK ... lots of doctor appointments going on...
Gotta get some sleep....tomorrow's my long day.  and night. 
I ordered DVR today so I can now follow the Bachelor, Survivor, Idol, and whatever else I may find ...
Hope I get up early enough to wash & dry hair before 7 AM. 
UGH did I just say that???
nite all....missed hanging out here....
(((Ducky))) thinking of you...and it's a short flight....you go up....then they give you a drink and snack; then you start to begin the slow down for a gentle landing. 

Will catch up Tuesday....

OK....Keep Dreaming with Sam and BBB.......

Good Night TOL♥

It was 82° on Saturday and 74° and overcast yesterday.  I was out in the yard in shorts and a tank top!  

Sheila, growing AG takes a lot of patience.  First you plant roots. You could plant seeds but that sets you back an additional year.  The roots are usually sold as one year/two year crowns.  You plant them but should not harvest ANY for two years from the time you plant them!

Don’t harvest any spears during the first 2 years that plants are in the permanent bed. They need to put all their energy into establishing deep roots. During the third season, pick the spears over a 4-week period, and by the fourth year, extend your harvest to 8 weeks. In early spring, harvest spears every third day or so; as the weather warms, you might have to pick twice a day to keep up with production. Cut asparagus spears with a sharp knife or snap off the spears at, or right below, ground level with your fingers.

A lot of work, but well worth it!

Since my Gyno died several years ago, I just have my GP do my annual.  I get an all around physical in one dr. visit.

Feel better Joan!

Make those appointments Sheila.

I want to grow AG but never have. 

Enjoy the time with Jacob, 6 weeks will fly by!

Quiet here, gym done.  Now going to vacuum up all the messes they made all weekend.

Yeah- those little ones don't feel the cold the way we do.  lol- 5 boxes of cookies - guess that was some successful arm-twisting.

That's a lot of Dr appts, Ducky. 

Wow - asparagus is a lot of work! 

Hope the scan shows the taxotere is kicking ass.

My father had the "companion" come today for her first visit- while he was home so my mother would feel more comfortable.  He intends to have her come again Wednesday so he can go to the gym and do any errands he wants to do.  My mother doesn't realize she gets confused sometimes - though I don't know how much confusion she's had since she's been home (like not remembering how to flush the toilet...).  I'll have to ask.  Visiting nurse is coming tomorrow to work with her on OT or cognitive therapy - not sure which. 

The hiring process was slowed down at first because of them - because they didn't send me the emails right away - but more recently, it's because of me.  They sent me the email for the background check last weekend.  I didn't want to have to go for the drug test on Tuesday when my mother was going home, so I didn't do that online stuff until Tuesday.  Then I had 48 hrs to do the drug test and skipped Wednesday and didn't do it 'til Thursday.  Now they've sent me an email for I-9 info and stuff and I'm procrastinating about that.  Will do it after DD leaves for her exam.  Just dragging my feet.

Deb...I didn't have any polyps.....I do remember DR saying 10 years....but my own DR is talking about every 5 years.....

Gastronoligist (SP) that did the procedure either retired or moved so i can't even call him

I'm not afraid or anything but if it's not needed i don't want it...........

Whoever said nice sunny day.....*&^&*&^&* It was windy and chilly and I froze........

I did my refills....got some soft food for my tummy.....feel very tired and sleepy.......

I also got 2 slices of white Pizza...It's weird I feel hunger at the same time the rock in my stomach keeps growing.......Maybe I call the DR.......

Chris.....please take care of yourself.....You have too much on your plate.........

Sheila.......get to the Dr........hugs

Meece, it does sound like AG is a lot of work....I wonder if deer eat them.  Last week I had 8 deer on my front lawn.  They eat everything.  How mature are your AG plants?  Sounds like they are thriving.
Re: colonoscopy...I had my first (at least 10 years overdue) last summer. (clear) I also had endoscopy at the same time. I was told come back in 5 for the colon but one year for the endoscopy since he saw something on my stomach lining and, of course, prescribed meds.  Grrrrrrrrrr
When I had the endoscopy, I woke up with a damaged swollen lip from the mouthpiece and a badly bruised arm.  I don't want to go back there real soon. 
I have not been to the dermotologist since before BC.  I had dental work done but put off the root canal...more Grrrrrrr
Sheila, glad you are finding beaches with big rocks!  I love it. 
Sandy, one reason I keep working is because I want to travel and I know that at any time I could be forced to retire due to unexpected health stuff.  I'm tired though...hope you can find a way to get a change of scenery once in awhile.  It is good for the brain to refocus.
I hope you are having a good day.
Am going to the most boring long drawn out hot-winded conference today with my college...I do not want to go but must be seen since it's a day off from work.  I'd rather go to work any day than to sit through speeches.
Chris, glad you are getting through that online requirement.  It's hard to make changes...life seems so full and we often wonder how we could possibly add anything else.  You've been through a lot.  Mom, Dad, your kids...all at the demanding stage.  Hugs for you!  (PS - I hate wearing glasses but progressive (line-free bifocals) work great for me, and contact lenses too.)
(((TOL)))

Joan

I did get GS cookies 2 thins and Michael wanted something so he got something, didn't know they were still selling them....

Shiela feel better, I have gotten 2 and when I was in the hospital the last time they told me to get another one, NOT.....luckily my dr. gives pills...5 every 15 minutes for an hour...I think the first one was 2007 and then after I got diagnosed with the recurrence in 2010....CALL THE DR.

Good Chris glad the nurse is coming, it will give him a break...

Deb love love love white pizza!!

Joan you need to get one soon!! Have fun at the conference, I personally love them....

Well this is the first year I don't go to Hershey for my "vacation" 9 years I went, but the boys graduated and I am no longer Chair to the Local Task Force on the Right to Education....kinda sad, it is next week, I could have gone but couldn't afford it the hotel and all, they paid for it before.....

on my way to the CT scan, curious as to the results...

BBL

ME

Hi Ray.....that's a very interesting question......I don't know much about her...but i'm so glad she opened this thread.......

Meece.....Must be such a happy feeling to see AG growing.........

Also....why are you thinking that they miss something on your last colonoscopy?

I know what happened to ELIMAR....is that why you're worried......

Joan...At least it's a nice day for your conference.....why your arm was bruised???????

Chris...Thinking of you...i know how it feels when your brain is full....hugs

Linda...????
